Replacing the buzz and excitement

Hi.

I feel the exact same.

I'm just  over 2 weeks without a bet,  which so far has been fairly easy now I have the right support.

But yes I feel like that bit of excitement has now gone. I've tried various different ideas and taken up some new hobbies.  But all in general feel alot better in myself 

Hi

I got a little this way as so much spare time , i idid find that i could watch sport and enjoy , well football i used to watch all sorts of sports just because of betting but i guess i didn't like. I play more on my xbox and binge on more netflix. I find my life more healthy as not staring at the phone and have more time for us. I guess if you need to fill the time, gym could be good as would give you a feel good factor.

Hi

The buzz and adrenaline rush was very much fear based issues.

The bigger the risk the bigger the buzz.

Once  was abale to abstain from gambling I would recognize my fears very slowly.

I would also say that boredom was one of my emotional tyriggers.

I would understand that even though I was not in action I often felt life did not stimulate me.

I would understand that I needed to reduce my fears and also become more productive with my  time.

I would write down my needs my wants and my goals and once I completed each one cross them off.

By being more focused and in time more self sufficient I would improve the feeling of pride in my self.

I would also do thing less reluctantly.

Procrastinating was a very unhealthy habit and when I was procrastinating I was cheating my self.

I also reduced my speed when driving being more respectful of the road caodes.

I use to stress my self out far to much.

I use to go in to panic mode far to often because of the levels of fearas I was living in so many fear.

My fears froze me from living a full healthy life.

Love healing and peace to every one.
